Mia is enjoying a yogurt cone to mark her official tenure as a Long-Stay Legend. We say “mark” instead of “celebrate” because Long-Stay Legends are the dogs who have been at Long Beach Animal Care Services for more than a year, and Mia is one of them. That’s no cause for joy, so the volunteers decided to add a little delight to her day. (Mia finished that cone in no time flat!) Mia is a 4-year-old husky mix with eyes like blue diamonds. Like most huskies, she loves to move, explore, and keep busy. She’s happiest when she’s around her favorite shelter people. Mia thrives with gentle guidance and would do well with someone who can help channel her energy with a balance of structure, adventure and snuggles when she winds down. Mia also requires some additional care — she recently began to have seizures, but they’ve been successfully controlled with meds. She’ll likely always need medication, but she’ll otherwise lead a long, happy life with someone who’ll just look at that as part of Mia’s normal day.
